Chapter 191: Training Exercise
"Thank you all for coming. The reason why I called this meeting is to discuss holding a training exercise we’ve been planning for a while," Remarked Jules, as she looked around at the others.
It was the 5th of May, 1920, about a week had passed since Raven was attacked by that young boy. The boy and his mother were being cared for by the church, getting some much needed therapy.
The boy had been placed in the care of an orphanage run by the church, where he’d be until his mother recovered.
There was a lot of work to be done, so that would likely take some time, the boy’s mother was completely unstable from the grief and trauma of losing her husband.
And the boy needed a lot of help too, his mother had lashed out at him a lot, traumatizing him. Jules had instructed the church to take good care of the two of them, and nurse them back to being mentally well again.
There hadn’t been any other incidents since then, and a few days ago, Jules had decided that the Knights should conduct training exercises from time to time to help raise the overall quality of the forces in the Order.
While they had a few heavy hitters in The Irregulars, the Captains, Jules and a few others, but there was a wide gap in quality beyond those individuals, so Jules wanted to rectify that by grooming and nurturing those Knights who were talented but had not realized their potential yet.
To get a clearer idea of how to accomplish that, she asked a few of the members of her squad for any suggestions or ideas, and Akila came up with one that she found appealing.
"That’s a good idea, a lot of our lower-ranked Knights could stand to improve. Since things have been pretty peaceful lately, it’s a good opportunity to get stronger," Responded Aster with a thoughtful nod.
Jules had called a meeting to discuss the training exercise with the Captains and Vice-Captains, all of whom were in attendance.
"Sounds like a pain, this is bound to take a lot of effort and energy," Sighed Tacitus lazily.
